Oysters
Method
Preparation
Prepare the mignonette
In a small bowl, combine diced cucumber, red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, chopped Thai basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shuck the oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, ensuring to keep the oyster liquor. Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter with ice.
Serve
Spoon the cucumber mignonette over the fresh oysters just before serving. Enjoy immediately.
